For the costume I used this shirt, a pair of blue leggins, blÄ and red tulle and spiderweb-fleece fabric.
I cut the sleeves from the body of the shirt and repaced the blue body with spiderweb fabric. I mad legwarmers and fingerless gloves out of the fleece also.
The tutu is made like the rainbow glitter skirt, I made for her sister: Easy tutu
From remnants of red tulle and spiderweb fabric I made a hairband with a bow.
The costumes is just like the imaged it. Yay! :-D
* Fastelavn, which is celebrated in Denmark and the Germanic countries. In short it is tecnically the same as carnival: The day before the 40 day fasting before easter starts (well used to start, no one do it these days). It used to be a day, where people drank and ate and partied like crazy.
Today it is mostly a children's celebration. In short it is much like halloween, just without the scary stuff. They dress up, make fastelavn decorations and go trick and treating. They a destroy a barrel full of candy with a wooden bat, and two ones who respectively destroy the bottom of the barrel and the last board, gets chosen as cat king and cat queen.
Fastelavn is a smelting pot of catholic traditions (which we not longer are), heathen fertility traditions and modern ones.
I am very fond of spiders. I wouldn't mind one of these costumes myself.
